Written by | published on

After your workout, whey protein is fine. With a low carb + high fat breakfast, though, it may ruin the satiety inducing effects of the high fat + low CHO meal. Today I am going to make the  short news  items actually short in order to be able to cover all the different studies investigating topics that range from the effects of TV watching and other distractions on your likelihood of snacking, the link between the amount of food kids consume when they are allowed to eat as much as they want at a buffet and their body fat levels, the differential effects of various macronutrients on appetite, satiety & co, the negative effects of believing in food addiction, the surprising insight that whey may be for low-carbers not and more. I think this was a long enough preface. So, let's not waste anymore time, but rather dig into the papers I've found in the latest regular and special edition(s) [some are pre-release abstracts] of the scientific journal Appetite: R...

Muscle Hypertrophy Impairs Oxygen Diffusion. Reducing Carb Intake Improve Muscular Insulin Sensitivity" | read more ). What I have not been writing about before are better alternatives. Alternatives such as a huge bowl of veggies. A bowl like the one the participants in a recent study from the Graduate School of Human Sciences and Design at the Japan Women’s University in Tokyo consumed as an adjunct to a standardized white rice meal. Add veggies to your rice! Basically, the scientists tested four different conditions. In condition (S), the participants consumed only the staple food (boiled white rice weighing 200 g heated in a microwave oven...

Image 1: You can probably get some cheap betaine (TMG) from your local fishing (not vitamin) shop. Sometimes, the thing we have been looking for has been there all along. And, no, I am not talking about the love of your life, but the cheap, effective and side-effect free anti-catabolic ergogenic every hard training athlete and fitness fanatic could benefit from. It turns out, Betaine, or trimethyl-gylcine (TMG), the methylated version of the relatively unknown amino acid glycine could be just that: a readily available, cheap ergogenic with the ability to safely modulate your hormonal training response in a way that will actually translate into real world performance increments. It is not without reason that I underline the importance of real world performance increments against impressive figures on a (oftentimes unrealiable) lab report. What's the use of the 40% increase in testosterone supplement X has been shown to provide, w...
